really good episode of Vice that just aired.
Killing cancer with HIV, measles, and genetically-engineered cold viruses.

42 mins long, but it goes by really quickly.

I watched it Friday night. Very interesting.

Watched this the other day.
Very interesting stuff. To think that this is set for 2016 is remarkable. We may actually be on the cusp for a cure. Would be amazing.

No we aren't. We have been able to kill cancer cells in tissue culture for decades. The problem with real cancers is their ability to evolve around the treatments and actively recruit the immune system to hide itself.
Trust me, there will never be a "cure" for cancer, only better prevention, earlier detection, and improved treatments.

Love the Vice stories. Push their agenda a little too much at times, but great journalism and important topics nobody knows about.

Have you watched it?
That's the whole point of the treatment. The HIV T-cells "attack" the cancer cells, not saying they destriy them. They basically live in the cancer cells. Well, as we all know cancer manipulates your immune system to not destroy the cancer cells. Well the HIV cells don't carry that property and cause the bodies immune system to destroy the cancer cells.

I live it, bro. I am an expert in gene therapy cancer treatments. My name is literally on the textbook about a certain type of gene delivery technique. Also, part of that episode was filmed where I work. Actually, I am getting to part of the episode that discusses something which was a major basis for my research (which I started over 10 years ago).

Like I said, this is a better treatment, not "The Cure." The problem is that the viruses must target a specific antigen on tumor cells. Therefore, all cancer cells which do not have that antigen will not be targeted.
the real cutting edge stuff are the CAR T Cell adoptive cell transfer studies which should start soon. Those treatments are the real cutting edge stuff.

I think I know who you are.
I'm pretty sure your current roommate lived with me at LSU.

Regardless of viewpoints I love learning about these studies and there success rates.

which is exactly what these new treatments target. They don't kill the cancer, they allow your white blood cells to see and kill the cancer.
By your credentials you know this.
--nevermind.

Geaudeaux,
Does the olive oil story have real promise, or is it one of those "breakthroughs" that will be buried and forgotten?

So instead of cancer you get hiv? Awesome

I'm keeping your name in the event I get cancer. I expect a TD discount with my treatments
